poverty" said the Sage, land like all
epidemics, it keeps away all who have
not the disease"
THAT angry man whom you see
laughing" said the Sage, you should
be careful to avoid when in good ma
ture, for his heart is not natural"
mo man has eyer had occasion to be
sorry for keeping silence, said the Sage !;
but every man has had occasion in his
lifetime to feel sorry for speaking"

Sage, pointing TO would-be candidate.
Then the voters should scratch him
whenever they can" responded the fat

wealth is infinitely superior to the mem
bers of its convention"
LAS 1 grow older" said the Sage,
land compare this world with the world

"How often we find" said the Sage,
that our bitterest enemy, the one who

most"
There is no stranger weapon in The
hands of skilled and brainy man than
ridicule." said the Sage; "but in the
hands Of the weak and the foolish it is
the boomerang that knocks down the
thrower
at am convinced" said the Sage,

with the war-cloud slowly but surely
settling down upon them" said the

True, honest SORROW" said the Sage,
"is never boisterous. You will see an
effort made to conceal it.. and be silent !;
an effort to avoid show, and desire for
retirement. The man whois loud in his
bewailing, who is ostentatious, who
tries to force his alleged grief upon
others, is not sincere. but is hypocrite
and scoundrel; and in the end receives
the contempt be so richly deserves"
ut is not uncommon" said the Sage,
"for acts of charity and generosity to
pass unnoticed, and liberality to pass I'M
rewarded, but the spirit that prompted
such acts is sure to reach that better
world where the record of benevolence
Is kept, and where the action receives
the smile and appreciation of Him who
will say: Well done, good and faith
full servant, enter thou now into the joy
of thy Lord"
